How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe place is not too far from the main streets where all the nightlife is (~10min walk). Cozy, fresh renovated apartaments. We were staying for 1 night so it had everything we needed.
The room was smelly and we realized that the smell is comming from the trash, which was not been taken out :( so we had to clean previous guests mess a bit...

Verified reviewThe staff is super friendly, they make you feel at home, the location is excellent because it is close to the beach and at the same time away from the noise of cars and parties. It exceeded our expectations and we hope to return soon.

Very noisy neighbours shattering whole evening and part of the night, without respect for people who want to sleep.

Verified reviewA nice family running this place. I booked for 1 night at first to see how the place was, and we got a very small room for me and my two small kids. When I told them that I could stay for one week if they could give us a better room, they gave us a much better suit, with 2 rooms (1 bedroom), one bathroom, one extra toilet room and two tv:s. Of course they asked a higher price for this one which I accepted, still reasonable. The place is about 500 meters away from the crowded area of Ksamil, which is a good thing. You are away from all the loud music and crowd at nights, peaceful and secure. There is one small cafe at the other side of the street, very convenient if you want to eat breakfast or a beer during a hot day. They offered us to wash our clothes in their washer which I was very grateful for. Thanks! Luxurious service, especially when you have small kids with you.
- I wish they could provide us with shampoo and soup every day without me had to ask almost every day. We got small tiny boxes of 1-in-2 shampoo/body containers which was only enough for one person and one time. We went to the beach every day and I had to shower the kids every day at least once after the beach, and therefore we needed 3 containers at least every day, which I had to ask for it every day! - The extra toilet did not include any soap for washing hands, and was not cleaned the 2 times they cleaned our rooms during our one week stay. We used mainly the other bathroom though, which a soup container was included. - The towels need to be replaced. Tiny think worn-out towels (but clean).

Verified reviewEVERYTHING I LIKED. I have been 5 times to albania, and this is the best place I have ever stayed. The family is so lovely and accommodating. The place is so clean, the WIFI is the best I've found. The appliances work, and the shower pressure is amazing! If I am ever in kasmil again, this is the ONLY place I would stay. Absolutely phenomenal location, so close to shops, pharmacies, restaurants, the beaches, the location is amazing! The lovely young girl's English is so good, which made communication so easy. And she is absolutely lovely! One of the nicest family run villas..
The fact I have to leave so soon.
Thanks
